In any case, while I as language geek have these kind of discussions, given current progress in AI systems, my point of view is that we will get the next evolution in programming systems, thus it won't matter much if it is C, C++, Rust, C#, Java, Go or whatever.
We (as in the industry) will eventually get reliable ways to generate applications directly to machine code, just as optimizing compilers took a couple of decades to beat hand written Assembly, and generate reliable optimized code.
So editions, regardless of what they offer, might not be as relevant in such a timeframe from a couple of decades ahead.
